The European Technology Platform for Sustainable Chemistry seeks to boost chemistry and chemical engineering research, development and innovation in Europe. Chemistry is ubiquitous and is vital for the quality of modern life. More and better use of chemistry will enable European society to become more sustainable. This requires major chemical innovations and a successful and healthy EU chemical industry.

Innovation is a key driver for future European competitiveness. Chemistry innovation, hence chemistry R&D, not only is a key driver for the sustained competitiveness of the chemical industry sector itself but also of the sustainability of the customer sectors; chemistry innovation has a disproportionate impact on innovation in up- and downstream industries including consumer product sectors. New, more sustainable chemical products and technologies can improve public confidence in the industry itself and act as a catalyst for improved sustainability and innovation throughout European business.

The Technology Platform will create conditions to:

• Maintain and strengthen the competitiveness of chemical industry in Europe based on technology leadership
• Meet society's needs in close cooperation with all stakeholders
• Boost and sustain chemistry research in Europe
• Improve EU framework economic and regulatory conditions to inspire chemical innovation
• Contribute to Sustainable Development in Europe

The Technology Platform has already produced:

• Engagement with the wider stakeholder community in an open dialogue
• An integrated, shared vision of a more sustainable future EU chemical industry
• A European Strategic Research Agenda for innovation in the prioritised chemical technologies

The Technology Platform will further produce:

• An Implementation Action Plan for the Strategic Research Agenda that will include mobilisation of resources for collaborative R&D and sustain a strong European chemical science base, align relevant EU policies and initiatives and provide recommendations on improvements for EU innovation framework conditions.
